We found an article by Vijay Karnataka dated September 25, 2014, that features the same picture. According to the report, this picture was taken when Geetha Rudresh received PM Modi upon his arrival at the airport.

OneIndia Kannada’s article also confirmed that PM Modi was greeted by Geetha Rudresh.

The above information proves that the woman in the picture is not Gautam Adani’s wife and hence, the claim is fake.
